ATI ENGAGE PHARM MIDTERM CARDS QUESTIONS
WITH ACCURATE ANSWERS
How can a nurse differentiate between mild and sever adverse effects when
administering medication? correct answer mild- rash, managed in outpatient
settings
severe- anaphylaxis, may require hospitalization, airway management, immediate
medical intervention
How can comorbidities impact the therapeutic range of a medication for a client?
correct answer liver or kidney impairment, alter drug metabolism and excretion
How can drug-drug interactions during absorption affect the activity of a
medication administered via the enteral route? correct answer can cause once
medication to become inactive before reaching systemic circulation
How can individual pharmacokinetic responses affect the therapeutic range for a
client? correct answer variations in absorption, distribution, metabolism,
excretion
How can minimizing the prescribing of medications help reduce adverse effects?
correct answer reduces the risk of adverse effects by avoiding unnecessary
exposure to drugs that may cause side effects/interactions
How can reporting adverse drug effects to the FDA improve medication safety?
correct answer helps manufacturers analyze groups of medications with similar
chemical compositions, enabling them to create safer medications with fewer
potential adverse effects
, How can the action of a reversible competitive antagonist be reversed? correct
answer increasing concentration of the agonist which displaces the antagonist
from the receptor
How do conventional agonists differ from inverse agonists in theri effects on
receptors? correct answer conventional agonists- activate receptors ot elicit
therapeutic response
inverse agonists- bind to same receptors but produce opposite effect
How do partial agonists differ from antagonists in their interaction with receptor
sites? correct answer partial agonists- bind to receptor sites and activate them,
produce weaker effect
antagonists- block receptor sites without activating them
How do the synergistic effects of medications benefit clients recieving
combination therapy? correct answer allow medications to enhance each others
therapeutic actions. enable providers to use lower dosages, decrease risk of
toxicity and adverse effects
How does a medications selectivity reduce the likelihood of adverse effects?
correct answer selective medication binds only to its intended receptor, avoiding
interactions with other receptors that could cause unwanted or harmful effects
